Who.we.are

What is the JUMP Pilot Project? The JUMP Pilot Project, or JPP, is
an organization dedicated to the development of software solutions
based on the open source GIS program JUMP. One of its main functions is
to coordinate and encourage the cooperative development of technologies
based on, or centered on OpenJUMP. It provides developers from aroung
the world an opportunity to work together and avoid duplicated efforts.
You can find information about the development of JUMP and related
technologies on this web site. The main software platform being
currently coordinated by the JPP is OpenJUMP. This is a version of the
original JUMP being developed and maintained by a group of volunteer
developers from aroung the globe.

Member.Organizations

The JUMP Pilot Project is supported by a number of private
for-profit, and non-profit organizations. Each one of these
organization willingly participates in the coordinated development of
technologies based on the JUMP GIS Platform. Individuals from these
member organizations make of the JPP Development Committee, which
guides the development of OpenJUMP.

Volunteers Around the World: One of the things
that makes the JPP and OpenJUMP unique is its global development
community. Although orginally developed in Canada, OpenJUMP is now used
around the world. Memebers of the development committee come from
countries across North America, Europe, and Asia. There are several
private companies and universities developing with OpenJUMP and the
original JUMP code base.

Group of Professor Dr. K. Greve at the Department of Geography of Bonn
University. This working group was involved in projects involving the
management and use of ditributed geospatial data since 1997. lat/lon

The SurveyOS Project: The SurveyOS Project
sponsors the development of open source technology and open standards
for the Land Surveying/Geomatics and Civil Engineering professions. Its
special focus is on encouraging mambers of both professions to take
advantage of open source technology, and on developing software that
makes this possible, pratical and affordable. You can learn more about
